Treatment for "Low T"
HRT for Men
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in the physical, emotional, and sexual health of men.
It is necessary for energy, bone density, and red blood cell production. Testosterone levels vary by age, declining as men get older. Because testosterone plays a vital role in men’s physical, emotional, and sexual health, men begin experiencing changes in their bodies by their mid-30s. If you’re a man over 40, it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of low testosterone so you can take steps to address the issue and improve your overall health and well-being.
